Count Ludwig von Reitzenstein (1693-1762) was a Braslander nobleman. He was the son of Erhard von Reitzenstein.

His father was a patriot and fought against imperial forces alongside Frederick Balkronn, who was his first cousin. He died in battle in 1695. After Balkronn became King of Brasland, he elevated Erhard's widow and children to the rank of Counts.

In 1724 Ludwig married Princess Elisabeth von Hohenburg. Her dowry included vast lands in southern Brasland. They had three children: Erhard (born 1726), Johanna (born 1727) and Agnes (born and died 1730).

Ludwig served as ambassador in the Ostmark for several years.

He died in 1762.
